Location not far from the airport, the facilities, late night access, the comfort...
The price of the taxi from and to the airport which made the stay prohibitively expensive, but that is not the fault of the hotel. If I had a car it would make sense or if the hotel and other hotels in the area got together and organised a shuttle for a reasonable price, it would make a lot of sense.

It was close to Stansted Airport and I was able to leave my car for the week for a small charge. I stayed the night before my flight and the night I returned. I stayed in the Aqua room on my 1st night and the Blue room on my return. Very comfortable and clean rooms, a lovely breakfast in the fridge and tea and coffee and refreshments. The owners were very accommodating and dropped me at the airport, rather than me calling for a taxi. Perfect start and end to my holidays. Will definitely stay again next time I fly from Stansted

The place is very cozy, they packed the place with anything you might need, there were a lot of useful extras, had a small problem and they solved it immediately, price was really good, room was full of informations with everything you might need.
Didn't received the email with the self check-in instructions so had to call, but they helped me immediately. The shower had a noisy leak (intermittent, coming from the wide dish-like nozzle on the roof) that disrupted my sleep. Room Aqua.

Communication, check-in and overall stay went really well. The breakfast in the fridge was nicely planned and coffee, tea and water waiting for us were really delightful. The bathroom was just lovely as well as the general design of the room.
The house is so cute but due to the pretty old and dirty carpets the overall feeling was a bit untidy. Unfortunately the nearby road was also very loud and the garden a bit abandoned - wasn't quite as idyllic as in the pictures.

There are no staff it is a self-check-in. Personally I found it very difficult to find - largely because it has the address as Smiths Green - it is NOT in Smiths Green but Dunmow Road on the corner before Smiths Green - as an irate resident of Smiths Green who has the misfortune to live in a house painted white - clearly I wasn’t the first
Property is great if you’re flying out from Stansted and live in Broadstairs

Fantastic location close to Stanstead airport. Lovely rustic setting in tranquil garden able to leave car for duration of holiday fantastic sole use roll top bathroom in a period property. Owner exceptionally helpful left us a wonderful selection of vegan friendly continental breakfast items.
Could not fault at all. Homely setting where owner lives in a separate part of building if you are looking for the usual commercial feeling of a travel lodge type accommodation this is not the setting for you.

Only stayed for 1 night but the room was great. Very comfortable king size bed, Kettle, toaster, coffee machine all in the room but the best thing for me was the heated bathroom floor! Check in was very easy and only 5 minutes drive from the airport. For anybody looking to eat locally we had a superb Sunday lunch at The Lion and Lamb a mile away on the same road.

Very nice accomodation - large beautiful room with comfy beds and a sofa. The self check in process was very easy and convenient, so we had no problems despite our delayed flight and late arrival. Contact with the owner is great - we had many last minute questions and requests (including a change in the time of arrival due to the delay) . Very convenient location close to Stansted airport. The staff was very nice, helpful and understanding - they modified my breakfast upon request to meet my dietery requirements. Breakfast itself was great - fresh and ready waiting for us in a little fridge in our room. The Nespresso coffee maker is a nice touch, and there is also a kettle and instant coffee / tea.
Everything was perfect!

The host was very helpful and have complementary water tea and coffee. Also very close to the airport.
The bathroom although it was for our sole use still you have to go out of the room ,also although the bathroom was big it wasn't comfortable because there is only a bath which is to high to enter. Regarding the breakfast it was good and plenty but there is no table so you can only have breakfast on the bed .

Great place. Breakfast was nice to have in the room ready for us. The owners were great and answered all questions quickly via email or in person.
It is an older house, but very clean. It didn't bother us at all but may not be some peoples' "cup of tea". The doors in the house are very low (and I am very tall), but after getting into the bathroom, I fit in the shower :) The taxi/uber from the airport to the B and B was 25-30 euros FYI
